Jac Jagaciak and Rick Genest, also known as Zombie Boy, make a punky pair of protesters in Yes, We Care in Fashion Poland Summer 2011. The editorial was captured by Bartek Wieczorek and Zuza Krajewska and features a group of neo-new wave activists in disaster-ready garb advocating for environmentally friendly energy sources.
Stylist Andrzej Sobolewsi mixed lingerie, pop art-infused tribal prints, typographic necklaces and a fierce pair of pants emblazoned with a nuclear symbol on the rear end in the pictorial. The models' hair styles were as frenetic as their fashion, including curly 'fros, slicked-back hair and even a wig made from shirred caution tape.
Emilia Nawarecka and Maddie were two of the other models who joined Jagaciak and Genest in Yes, We Care in Fashion Poland Summer 2011.
